Wimborne Dementia Friendly Community brings the Magic Table to Wimborne

The donors were invited to the launch at the Community Learning and Resource Centre, the Mayor of Wimborne, Cllr Mrs Kelly Webb, was in attendance and praised the generosity of the people of Wimborne and thanked everyone involved in their fundraising efforts.

The Magic Table is a mobile unit containing a series of interactive light games specifically designed for people with mid-to late-stage dementia.

Steve Robinson, chief executive officer of the Prama Foundation said, “We have been privileged to partner the Wimborne Dementia Friendly Community in this project, we hope to encourage community groups of different ages and abilities to use the Magic Table both at Streets Meadow care home, and in community spaces throughout Wimborne.”

Donors included Wimborne Minster Town Council, Wimborne Rotary, and Waitrose, who presented a cheque for £1000 at the event. This was raised from their green token Community Matters scheme and will be shared between The Magic Table, the Step Outside Allotment project and Wimborne Minster Dementia Friendly Community.

Sue Cook, chairman of the Wimborne Dementia Friendly Community said, ‘We are hugely grateful to everyone who has donated or shown interest in this project and we are delighted that Prama have now taken ownership of this amazing piece of equipment and will be promoting its use by the people of Wimborne’.
